How do I get the netCDF software package?
The latest source distribution, which includes the C, Fortran, and C++ interfaces, is available for downloading as a compressed tar file or a gzipped tar file. Installation instructions are available with the distribution or online. The Java interface for netCDF is available separately from the NetCDF Java site. Binary distributions for some platforms are available from the directory ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/binary.
